How You Can Harvest More Blessings

       You know how old I am?

Here’s a hint: My first computer monitor wasn’t black and white. 

It was green.

          And the only real popular computer game in my time? 

Pacman. It was a green round character with a big mouth that ate everything in sight. Like greedy politicians of the Philippines.

          If your dictionary was published before 1980, throw it away. Thanks to the computer, the English vocabulary has radically changed.

          When I was young, a mouse was a furry animal.

          A mouse pad was the house of a furry animal.

          A virus caused the flu.

          A bug was an insect.

          A hard drive was a difficult journey.

          An apple was a fruit.

          And windows were rectangular holes on the wall.

          My friend (whose name I won’t divulge because it’ll be hazardous to my health) has been frozen in time when it comes to computers. She refuses to learn. One day, her boss enters her office and says, “I need new Windows for the office.” He was referring to the computer’s Operating System, but she didn’t have the foggiest idea what he was talking about. Being the bubbly girl that she was, she said, “Cool! Interior design is my specialty.”

          What is an Operating System? It’s the system that operates the computer. (Man, I’m bright.) Okay, let me try that one more time. The Operating System is the most basic program of your computer. Your various applications—Word, Excel, and Powerpoint—sit atop the Operating System or OS.

          Why am I giving you a lecture on computers?

          To make a very important announcement.

          Friends, I’ve just discovered the Operating System of the universe.

It Answers The Mystery

            How did I come to this discovery? 

I like to ask a lot. 

I’ve always wondered why some people are successful and others are failures. I’ve wondered why some people are happy and others unhappy. I’ve wondered why some people have loving families and others have broken families.

          What determines success and failure? 

I’ve now come to the conclusion that it’s how we relate to the OS of the universe.

The Operating System of the universe is the Law that governs all of reality. Success and failure hang on this one Law. Follow this Law and you’ll succeed. Disregard the Law and you’ll fail.

          So what is the OS of the universe?

Luck

Some people think luck is the OS of the universe.

          If good things happen to you, you’re lucky.

          If bad things happen to you, you’re unlucky.

          So to be successful, just be lucky!

          I remember the husband who told his wife, “Sweetheart, when I had a big trial, you were there beside me. When I lost my job, you were there beside me. When I got sick, you were there beside me. When I lost all my wealth, you were there beside me…” His wife was about to cry, so touched was she by his words. And then he said, “I’ve come to realize that you bring me bad luck.”

          People who believe that luck is the OS of the universe will wear amulets. They will also knock on wood, follow their horoscope, hang mirrors on their homes, and kill a rabbit and bring along his foot. (I can assure you that rabbit wasn’t lucky at all.)

Luck says that your life is based on how the stars are arranged.

My friend and I were going to have lunch one day. But early in the morning, she called me and said, “I can’t meet with you today, Bo.”

“Why?”

She said, “My horoscope says I can’t leave the house. It says I may have an accident today.”

“I have a suggestion,” I said. “Buy another magazine where your horoscope says you can get out of your house!”

I don’t like my life being controlled by the arrangement of the stars. Because that means my life is totally out of my control. 

Because the last time I checked, I can’t seem to control those stars. They’re a bazillion miles away and they’re also bigger than me. Goodness, I can’t even control my kids who are only 2 feet away—and much smaller than me!

I added, “You shouldn’t be superstitious.”

“Why?” she asked.

“It’s bad luck.”

God

           

Some believe that the Operating System of the entire universe is a capricious, self-centered, immature, insecure God.

They don’t call him by that description, but that’s who their God is. He is a Divine Being who sits on the throne, looking for people to reward because they adore him—or looking for people to punish because they forget him. 

So to succeed in life, all you have to do is make this capricious God happy. Don’t anger him. And perhaps, He’ll throw some rewards in your direction.

Plu-eeeeese.  

That’s not my God. That sounds more like the Volcano God in the movie Kingkong. Whenever the volcano rumbled and spewed more smoke then usual, these primitive people imagined their god was angry. To appease him, they would choose a poor guy among them, tie him up, and throw him through the boiling mouth of their volcano god, hoping that this human sacrifice will pay for their sins.

Why would you want to worship such a tyrannical God?

If the OS of the universe isn’t lady luck or a self-centered God, what is it then?

To Be Successful,

Follow the Operating System

Friends, I don’t believe in luck.

I believe in blessing.

Luck is based on chance.

Blessing is100% sure!

What people define as luck, I define as getting ready to be blessed

My belief is simple: When the soul is ready, the blessing will appear.

Are you ready for the truth? Right now, you’re swimming in an ocean of blessings. You don’t see this ocean, but it’s there all around you.

If you lack blessings, it simply means you lack readiness to receive the blessings. There’s no shortage of blessings. There’s only a shortage of your readiness.

The key? Get ready.

          How? By planting seeds.

Let me now tell you the Operating System of the Universe.

Friends, the Operating System of the universe is the Law of the Harvest.

This is what governs the world.

And this is what governs your life.

The Law of the Harvest states:

What you plant, you harvest.  What you don’t plant, you don’t harvest. The more you plant, the more you harvest. The less you plant, the less you harvest.

If you plant mango, you get mangoes. 

If you plant bananas, you get bananas.

And if you plant love, you harvest love.

If you plant hatred, you harvest hatred too.

Experiment

Try this out tomorrow.

Put a permanent smile on your face and greet everyone you see. Smile at people walking on the streets. Give a cheery “Good Morning!” to the security guard, the janitor, the messenger in the office. And give hugs to the staff in your office.

Though a few would wander if you’ve taken shabu for breakfast, I can assure you that you’ll receive more smiles than you’ve ever received before.

That’s just how the universe works.

Make a decision now to plant today what you want to harvest tomorrow. Or next week. Or next month. Or next year. Or 10 years from now.

Do you want to more joy? 

Give joy to others. Face it. The happiest people in the world are those who’ve planted the most seeds of happiness to others.

I can share with you an example in my life…

Why Am I So Blessed With A Loving Family?

I’ve got a great family life.

Why? Because for the past 10 years now, I’ve been planting seeds of love into my family. I spend time with the boys. I play with them everyday. In fact, they know my policy that at anytime, my home office is always open to them if they want to play with Daddy. 

Everyday, I bike with Francis. Each week, I have a one-to-one breakfast with Benedict. Each week, I have a romantic date with my wife. In fact, this past week, despite being away to Davao and Cebu for a couple of days, I still was able to grab two romantic dates with my wife. (I can’t get enough of her.) 

I’ve planted all these seeds of love, and I’m now harvesting!

If you want to harvest love, you have to plant seeds of love.

By the way, do you want more money?

How To Harvest More Money

If you want more money, plant value.

Remember: Money is nothing else but a symbol of value. So the surest way to increase your income is to increase your value—and give that value to others.

My friends own a chain of restaurants in Metro Manila named Trinity.

Visit them in Mall of Asia and you’ll see that they’re always jampacked. How come? Go ahead. Try their food. I recommend Sinigang sa Miso. But before going in, write your name in a small card and put it in your pocket. Because when you start sipping the soup, I promise you that it’s so good that you’ll forget your name. Thus, the card in your pocket. My friends are giving you incredible value.

My other friends own In My Womb Prenatal Ultrasound Clinics.

They too are prospering because they want to serve the customers. 

First, they took the ultrasound out of hospitals and into malls. Pregnant women don’t like going to hospitals for their ultrasound. Because they’re not sick and don’t want to be around sick people. Second, the clinics are such a lovely, family-friendly, attractive place. While a doctor is doing your ultrasound, your family can watch your baby’s prenatal videos because they placed a wide-screen, TV set on the wall.   Third, only OB-Gynecologists work on each pregnant woman—not their staff or assistants. That means you get the ultrasound interpreted to you as its being done. 

Do you now understand? The wealthiest person (minus Drug Lords, etc.) is the one who can give the most value to the most number of people.

Anyone who has a lot of money but not a lot of value will soon loose all that money. Take a look at LOTTO winners. According to the US Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc, nearly one-third of LOTTO winners become bankrupt within five years of their winning.   Just five years and the money flies away. Why? Because money symbolizes value, and if there’s no value behind the symbol, it won’t last.

            Let me close with one last story.

What You Give, You Receive

In Sagada, we visited the Echo Valley.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, I told my 4-year old boy, “Okay son, shout I love you as loud as you can!” So Francis hollered, “I love youuuuu!” 

It was a delight to see the surprise on his face when he heard his high-pitched voice bounce back… “I love you, I love you, I love you…”

Being the killjoy that I was, I took him aside and gave him a 2-minute lecture on life.  “Francis,” I said, “life works the same way. The entire universe is a giant Echo Valley. What you give to life, you’ll receive back a hundredfold. Imagine if you said I hate you. You would have heard, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you… Hatred will return to you many times over too. Remember: Whatever you give to the universe, you’ll receive it multiplied.”

“Okay Daddy,” he nodded, “the universe is a giant Echo Valley.”

Of course, that was his polite way of getting rid of me. 

As I watched my little boy holler more I love you’s to the universe—and receiving it back—I realized how simple God created the world.

Friend, what do you want to harvest in your future?

Plant it today.

May your dreams come true,

Bo Sanchez

  2. Ano man ang iyong itanim iyon din ang iyong aanihin..

    Magmahal katulad ni Hesus at tumanggap ng maraming biyaya.. kung ano man ang iyong ibigay at isakripisyo para sa iyong kapwa, ibabalik ito ng Diyos ng siksik liglig at umaapaw

    Love life and live for love..

    salamat ng marami Bro. Bo.

  3. wow! kuya Bo you’re so amazing!

  4. Hi Bo,

  5. Great stuff as usual and full of inspiring lessons in life.

    Keep inspiring others!

    God bless.

  6. Wow!!amazing stories Bo…really you inspire lots of people reading all your articles…..God Bless us All

  7. I used to be stingy, and thought how I could hold on to my money, I would think hard before I would let go of my hard earned money. But you know what it dwindles so fast like water flowing out of my hands. And kumustahin mo kung saan napunta hindi ko malaman at wala rin akong nakikitang fruits of the money I used with. And one thing more life seems so hard for us financially. Until I heared you say in one of your Kerygma TV talks to ask God to teach me how to manage my blessings, that it will be fruitful and share it to others. And guess what He told me to plant seeds on people who are in need, to give my tithes, offer love offering, share my 3T’s and He’ll do the rest. Now I’m harvesting, it may not be that bountiful yet but I know deep in my heart soon it will be for I havve learned to give and share what has been given to me. To plant in order to harvest. (^_^)

  8. Hi,

    an inspiring article… now I know what an OS means… :)

    thanks for opening our minds to this law of harvest…

    Godbless †

  9. thanks kuya bo. yun nga iniisip ko nowadays. I think I have been helping some who are really in need. I lent my savings to my half-brother who went abroad this month, lent my money again this week to a cousin whose family runs out of money for the basic needs, and spent my one day salary to buy cake for my nephew. I’m teaching myself to be more generous, though sometimes I realize ni damit hindi ko mabili sarili ko. but it’s okay, basta for my loved ones, madali pala talaga mag sacrifice. but now, I’m running out of money, pero I’m thankful I still have. I am just a bit sad because I can’t help my two brothers who are really struggling. They can’t find a regular job because they don’t have a college degree. I am the breadwinner, and even though I earn more than most of my classmates before, it is not enough for me. I can’t save and put up a small business na March ko pa plano. I can’t take a loan because I have no valid ID’s aside from my company ID. I am sad because I have so many goals but there’s too much hassle. I ask you Bro. Bo to pray for me. I have said to God that I’m trying to give as much as I can because I am blessed. Ang hinihiling ko lang kay Lord, sana mabigyan NIya ren ng blessings ang mga kapatid ko. I envy you Kuya Bo because you have a great family life. Really. Maybe I can make a great family of my own in the future, but for my immediate family, I don’t know. Hindi po kasi kami loving at open sa affection. Pero kahit anu pa, I am really thankful to God that He gave me a family like that, We may be poor now, but I have always reminded them that we are blessed and “lucky.” Sana nga lang po, ibless din sila ni Lord katulad ng pagbless NIya sa akin. Ako lang po kasi nakapag college sa amin sa tulong ng isang hindi kadugo. If no one hadn’t helped me, I wouldn’t have had a stable job now. It’s pitiful lang po na mkita yung mga katulad ng family at relatives ko na na- trap sa poverty at poor-mindset nila. Please pray for them, I mean the people who really find it hard to trust in the beauty of life because of poverty. Sana po mas ibless sila ni Lord so that they can also share their blessings.

    Thanks for the wonderful article. It’s regrettable that we were not able to go to the Feast last Sunday. Sayang talga. I hope this week, okay na. Maisama ko kahit isa sa family members ko. (Ayaw ren kasi nila pumunta dahil walang pamasahe. Hay.) Nakakalungkot talaga. I will strive hard to help them, Kuya Bo. Yun naman po ang message nyo di ba? Plant, and then harvest. I will trust in the Lord to give them more blessings, kahit sila na lang muna. Sana po marami pa kayo mabless na people. Keep up the good work. God bless!

    Ms. Truly Rich=)

  10. HI Bro. Bo,
    Thanks for the inspiring Message.
    I think that’s the best O.S.

    God Bless!

  11. Hello Bro Bo,

    Thank you again for the very inspiring talk. Francis is right that the universe is a large Echo Valley.

    Before I got married, elders of my community told me that I will experience more sufferings with my husband (but I strongly agree on them coz if I do maybe I will really suffer). hehheheheh I told them I dont agree, coz when I was a child I never experience LOVE from my parents and never seen them in love with each other but full of hatred and jealousy thats why their marriage dont work. So what will I do for my family is opposite of what I’ve experience I will Love my husband everyday, love my kids everyday coz if I plant love for my family I will receive the same or more. And that is what happening with me.. :)

    Thanks and hope you and your subscribers will bless others more.. hehhehehhe

    Dian

  12. Hi Bo,

    Really awesome application on the teachings of Wallace D. Wattles.

    Great mind.

    JMG

  13. “…As you sow… so shall you reap…”

    I will always remember this great LAW
    (The Law of the Harvest).
    Thank you Bro. Bo for an inspiring message.

  14. bro bo,

    This is very enlightening. This is very appropriate on what i am experiencing right now at work. I have this misunderstanding with one of our staff, its work related two weeks ago. Until now, we are still not in good terms ad we can not see each other eye to eye and we try to avoid each other. Though, i made the first move to reconcile last week but still he was maybe mad at me. This is really affecting my work. And I always wear a sad face at work for about 2 weeks now.
    Everyday i pray that he will be enlightened. Bro bo, please include me in your prayers that we may be reconciled.

    Thanks bro bo and more power. God bless.

  15. I always read your wonderful and inspiring stories but never really leave any comment behind. Here’s the wisdom I receive after reading your story. God loves us so much that yes, while we harvest what we sow, He also gives us even the things we do not ask for and those we do not deserve. He wants to give us the best. He gave us His forgiveness and the promise of salvation through Jesus Christ. God is not a tyrranical God at all. While we strive to be perfect, He knows our limitations so He made sure we are able to reconcile with Him. He is such a forgiving Father that even if we have sinned, He longed to be reconciled with us and gave us nothing less than His only Son.

    God bless Bo and everyone reading this.

  16. Hi Bro. Bo,

    Thanks again for this very wonderful article. You inspired us again.

    Hope to see you soon here in Dubai, UAE.

    God bless you more and your family. :)

  17. geez, bro bo. The message is just a perfect timing with what I am going through now. I need all the blessings that I can get instead of relying it to lady luck,

    Recession can be a damn nuisance sometimes. But everything happens for a reason. So where God will plant me, there I will grow.

    Good luck to me…I mean, good blessings to me!!!!

  18. thank you bro. bo.
    a very good article to start my week.
    God bless you always.

  19. bro. bo is God’s blessing to all!!!

  20. Wow! I love this! I don’t usually leave comments but for this one i just had to coz it just spoke so strongly to me. Thank you for sharing with me this new discovery of yours Bo. I’ve been sensing from the Lord that He’s been telling me to get ready for more things in my life. But I have been slow to take action. This is a great reminder for me that blessing comes to those who are ready, for those who have taken the time to plant. You really are a blessing bro! Your messages never fail to inspire me to be better and to be more for others. God bless you more and more!!!

  21. As I read this article, I felt I was floating in an oceans of blessings. Thank you bo for sharing this to us! May GOD bless you more and your family!

  22. Hi Bro. Bo!

    U’re really good at narrating stories ;) and Filipinos love to hear stories. But what makes you unique, an exception and differ from an ordinary writer (who most of the time sensationalized stories just to make money), it is because YOUR words are FULL of KNOWLEDGE and WISDOM and make human beings THINK!! Perhaps, we need to be reminded always, to be soul conscious enough because of so many unnecessary operating systems provided or infected by unconscious individuals. Giving NO great VALUE to things or to people. Unconscious people who are asking more blessings yet they forget the main purpose.

    Bro. Bo never get tired to remind us always. Enlighten us and lead us to our great Father and we may experience true blessings and happiness.

    Thanks, more power and more blessings to you and to your family!

  23. I just started this negotiation skills seminar today and I was reminded that in order to succeed it should start from within. If you think you can close the big deal - You can, if you think you will get promotion then- You can- just be honest to yourself.

    Bro Bo, just reconfirmed that whatever we give to the world it will bounce back to you. If you show uncertainty and laziness, then surely will get what we give. If you show goodness - then surely you’ll gonna harvest it.

    Thank you Bro Bo for the Soulfood, it really empower us to live a smarter and happy life.

    Cheers,
    B-anne

  24. Your words are truly inspiring Bro. Bo.
    My fiancee always tells me those lines: We are not lucky; we are blessed :)

    God bless you more :)

  25. To me this topic sound simple but the impact is great to every individual. Looking back my life, I can tell now that I am blessed with so many folds, even to the fact that I admit I didn\’t planted the most perfect seeds. But God knows my imperfection and He let me improve the quality of seeds I\’m planting everyday to the journey of life.

    More power to you Bo and family.

    PS - Thanks for forwarding my message Rita of CFA about Homeschooling. I may contact her whenever I am the Philippines.

  26. dear bro.bo,

    at this point in my life i need to make a difficult decision, and this decision would determine the kind of seed i’m going to plant in my workplace…thanks for your article…it has inspired me to journey through life with a more positive outlook about things…. God bless and continue to be an inspiration to others!

  27. Hi tito Bo,

    it´s me again and as usual i am so inspired with this article. God is really talking to me through your blog. You are indeed a HUGE blessing to the universe and I thanks God for that. This message is a reminder that I am not receiving the blessings I am asking from God because I am not yet ready to receive them.

    God bless you Tito and keep on inspiring us!

  28. Thank you for this inspiring article. I agree that you reap what you sow. But sometimes it’s hard to understand why people don’t treat you nicely even if you didn’t do anything bad to them. It’s been taking its toll on me and in my idle time, I can’t help but think of the bad experiences I had with other people.

    Help!

  29. Hi Bro Bo,

    your words are really heaven sent… may you never get tired and ran of words to share with us for our spiritual nourishment. thanks and God bless you always.

  30. Thank you for this Bro. Bo, you always inspire us to live life the way it should be live.. Thank you and may you and your always be bless always…:)

  31. hi po Bo :)

    hehe i’ve came in your feast last sunday for a few months i didn’t came because of my service in our church…hehe actually, i didn’t grew up with having computer in our own house that’s why when you said a word “OS” i asked what was that? so then, i lend my ears to hear your explanations for that…hmmm.. it was wonderful :) then another word “plant more seeds” …hmmm….hehe after your talk Bo, i sang a song like this…”magtanim ay di biro, maghapon nakaupo di naman makatayo, di naman makaupo…”haha:) i’d just love to sing.anyway, no matter how hard “magtanim” for the glory of God i will do it, because it will bless me and it will bless my people around me..i called them “my people” because i love them though i didn’t know one of them.

    salamat po:D

    God Bless!:)

  32. A million thanks to you brother Bo!!! Thanks for your teachings and may we be able to apply it in our lives…

    Keep on inspiring all the people in the world…God bless us always…

  33. Hi Kuya Bo, thanks again for inspiring me again and again. Keep it up. God bless us all.

  34. Good morning Bro. Bo,

    A blessed day to you and your family… I just want to inform you that you have been a blessing to me you are a great mentor in my life. I was bless by listening to you over the radio sa Gabay and also to your Kerygma Tv. I am always teary eyed when ever I listened to your talks as if God is using you as a way to communicate with me. Since the 1st time I heard you I am totally a different person. Because I am trying and doing all the best I could to live a life that will always please the Lord.

    The other week I was called to have an orientation for the Children Ministry and the next day for the usherettes. I am called to serve God may be that is why I have learned about the Feast and all your ministries.

    I pray that God will use me to be a blessing to others just as HE had used you…..

    You will always be a great mentor to me of course 2nd to God… For if without Him I will not be here today proclaiming God’s glory….

    Thank you for being there and for being the farmer that planted the good deeds, the wisdom and knowledge about God and for enlightening me in my faith…

    I pray that you will be bless more for you are such a blessing to others. In Jesus sweet name I pray Amen…amen….

    Always,

    Rose

  35. hi bro, a great article.. again, your a blessing to all who reads your articles..i would take everything in my life a blessing, it may be good or bad..it has a purpose so its a blessing as well..

    you are right, a very good example is the Echo valley in Sagada.. what you give is what you receive..

    thank you so much again..

  36. I’m a new subscriber to your site and it feels so good to read these stories. Been telling myself lately and reminding myself about planting seeds but mostly in regards to financials…but looking back in past experiences, I feel I was planting seeds without me knowing. It has carried me through many trials that would make the average american pay three more times a visit to their therapist. That’s not to be mean, I grew up in the states and never really got the whole going to a shrink thing. Anyway, great stuff. Looking forward to more:)

  37. …thank you for keeping our souls healthy.

    I’m pretty sure that God is delighted in you and I know that He will continually bless you!

    looking forward for more spiritual nourishment to come.
    once again thank you and good day!

  38. Greetings Bro. Bo,

    Thank you for keeping me inspired to walk with faith and have a positive outlook in like..

    I totally agree with you that what you sow so shall you reap…
    A universal truth that binds all laws…

    My pervent hope you can plant seeds of love, community here in Malaysia…

    May God be praised!!!

  44. hello Bo,

    your message is very simple, exact, very precise and straight to the point.

    I wished there was someone like you during our younger days. nevertheless, it’s never too late, as the way the song “In His Time” goes.

  45. Bro. Bo,
    How’s your day? Fantastic I know.
    Seems you are already a close friend after receiving your daily devotionals and weekly soulfood for ,I guess, three months already.
    If I am no longer the person I used to know myself to be, the credit is not only to my effort but much to you as well. I am so thankful to God for you. I have been spiritually blessed through you.
    I’m slowly unloading my fears because you helped me identify them.
    By the way, THANK YOU VERY MUCH KERYGMA FAMILY for greeting me on my birthday last May 23. When I opened my email I was so surprised to read it that I shed tears of joy (I’m OA sometimes). It was unexpected. I felt I TRULY BELONG with the family. Thank you for being my friends and family. I don’t have much close friends because I’m boring and too serious with life. I’m just glad I have you. I’m so grateful with life.
    Thanks to all of you folks. And more blessings!!!!

  71. your really the best bro. bo. yes! to echo valley. the best explanation ever.

  72. Bor Bo,

    Good day! I am once again inspired and reminded of my backlogs in life. But I know God is a loving Father, always there to give another chance. It’s really really true that the more you plant (good) the more you harvest. “What goes around, comes around”.

  73. Wow, this is really great… Thanks for your great blog. Now I know what I should do with my life, At first, I told my self, revenge is the key to make me happy, but now I realized I was wrong. I came to know that if ever I revenge for someone, We both lose. So again… thank you.. smile =)

  74. wow bro.bo, you are great! you’re blogs never fail to inspire me. i will plant today what i want to harvest tom! :D

  75. thank you again Tito Bo…

    God Bless…=)

  76. This is the 1st time I will be commenting though…
    The articles you make are so enlightening… It’s like I’m being reborn again, and again, every time I read these kind of stories… But I just dunno why I keep going back to myself, when I try to change?… I can’t seem to see what’s the matter~~
    I always knew there was something lacking in me, or something taken away? or missing? or is it just me?…
    I hope I find something soon that will make me know what I really am, or what am I to this world… ^_^
    For now,
    I’ll keep on eating all the soulfood that you make for us,,

    Have a nice day~

  77. Hi Bo!

  79. Dear Bro. Bo,

    Again, its an inspiring lesson to me. You know I have personal experiences of how God’s wonder work when we love our fellow thru giving without expecting in return. God’s grace just drop in my lap on most unexpected situations and it is truly a big wonder and grace from God. I am really amazed at God’s love for us.

  80. Dear Brod Bo,

    Am blessed by your message. I say Amen to that! to God be the Glory !!!!

  81. bro,

    just a comment. Yung GOD part na title sa baba… i agree on the explanation, pero sana you also presented the fact that the principles that govern the Law of the Harvest and of the other Laws is designed by our marvelous God…

    hehe, i’m just a bit biased on what’s missing in that subtitle.

    thanks a million for your entries :D

  82. thank you bro Bo for an inspiring article.

    I’m going to try the experiment tomorrow and each day give words of encouragement to people I meet.

  88. i’m an atheist but i often find myself nourished mentally and spiritually after reading what you wrote. perhaps it’s not god who/that guides people to good and quality life but having an open and healthy mind and the willingness to change for the good.

    more power!

  89. Thank you Bro. Bo for sharing this to us. God Bless You. :)

  90. dear bro. bo,

    i believe in what you sow you reap, but even though i believe in this i still cannot do good things to others perfectly. sometimes i tend to be selective to whom i will give my love and help … i hate to help those i don’t like or don’t lime me either. i am very subjective. i want to do what God me wants me to do but human as i am i have my shortcomings. what can i do to correct this? pls. help

  91. hi Bro. Bo. you’re so amazing.
    I’ve only read 2 of our articles and i think i will keep on reading them everyday. You really Rock!

  93. Brother Bo,

    You’re always an inspiration, di mo lang naitatanong, when I got out of the “community”, you’re the only one who nourished me from time to time.

    Guess what?

    I am now a PRODIGAL SON.

    I’m back serving God!

    Thanks for allowing Him to be an instrument.

    God bless you!

    P.S. I wanna be like you someday! :)
